CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

I HAVE A 69 COPO 9561AA CANADIAN CAMARO,AND THE GM CANADA DOCUMENTATION INDICATES AN OPTION OF ZV7 FREEDOM BATTERY DELETE. THIS COPO WAS SHIPPED MAY 19 1969. ANY HELP W/ THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. IT REALLY HAS ME STUMPED, IT [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [email protected]

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

If I remember correctly...Delco Freedom battery was one of the first to be "maintenance free"...in other words you didn't have the caps to top off the electrolyte.

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Was'nt the middle of May to the first of June considered the time frame that the Camaro started getting the sidepost batteries instead of the top post????? I remember seeing Frank Naples car with a side post and questioning it, and was told since it was a June car, it could come with a side post. Dave,... you got a private message!

Pete i have no ZV7 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

ZV7 is not for the Freedom battery delete. It is an internal code relating to use of a particular transmission. Here is the breakdown:
ZV6 = M20
ZV7 = M21
ZV9 = M40
ZW1 = M22

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Thanks Ed
View like this...
ZV6 = M20
ZV7 = M21
ZV9 = M40
ZW1 = M22
It's very logic https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
But for what GM Canada show the two code on the same paper.

RPO M22= 4-speed H.D. transmission close ratio and
IC ZW1 = 4-speed H.D. transmission close ratio

RPO PL5= F70-14-4 PR tire -HWY-OE-B/wall white lettering.
IC ZP1 = C.O.P.O Tires
RPO for Regular production option and
IC for Internal Code
This IC code it's only for canadian COPO or All USA and CDN COPO.
This one is the best from GM https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif
RPO ZP3 Regular Production Option Special Order Paint and
two dash - - on the tag for Paint Deleted.(USA and CDN) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

- - does not mean paint delete, it just means a non-standard color for the model year that they had no code for.

Ok it's cool like this https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
<font color="blue">RPO ZP3 Regular Production Option Special Order Paint and
two dash - - on the tag for non-standard color for the model year .(USA and CDN)
</font>
On a Baltimore or Norwood B/Sheet a code - in a box equal to
no / nothing / N/A / non or another term. ???

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Trim tag paint code - - means "special paint instructions". Could be a non standard paint color, or could be a stripe delete on a Z28. Anything out of the norm would get the - - code.

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Eh Mark
you have the code ZP3 with a stripe delete on a Z28.
Just curious https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

The build sheet you are referring to is a Chevrolet item that was not generated till the body was delivered to the Chevrolet line. The ID number was entered into the system and the final assembly was broadcast to all work stations on the final assembly line. The cowl tag was placed on the body by the Fisher Body plant prior to the car being painted. So - - on the broadcast sheet (aka build sheet) have not relation to Fisher Body

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Sure
but the code 756 on a B/Sheet = Black ...Trim
the code 756 on the tag = Black ... Trim
- - on paper or on metal = - -
This is the relation https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Chevy seemed to have processed the special paint orders in different ways by year or assembly plant
69 Chevelle SS had a special paint option on the order sheet for Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow that had no dash code and used std no. paint code. A 69 Chevelle non-SS car would have a dash paint code for same colors and a off the chart color such as Carolina Blue even on SS Chevelle got a dash paint code.
On the 67-68 Camaro seems they could get a dash paint code just for stripe delete order

JoeC
I agree with you https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
Just look on Yenko.net for the 8 color ordered for Yenko
Chevelle https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
No mention of Monaco Orange https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Hugger Orange
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Our documentation shows the PL5 (Uniroyals) but no ZP1. We have the ZV6 for the M20.

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Roger, Yenko ads called his Chevells Hugger Orange but Chevy lit calls it Monaco Orange same color used for Corvette was also called Monaco Orange

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

Keith what's year your GM Canada documentation
My first letter is dated 1995 and not show ZP1
But with the correction in 1997 GM Canada ad the code ZP1.

JoeC
More popular color like Hugger orange win..
Monaco Orange for many people it's unknown.

In Mopar the name Plum Crazy VS In-violet - Plum win...
Hemi Orange VS Tor-Red - Hemi Orange Win..
Panther Pink VS Moulin Rouge Panther Pink Win.. etc
But the real name for a purple 70 'Cuda this is In-Violet
Yenko.net show Hugger Orange (code 72)for 69 Chevelle Yenko
This is correct...Yes or No https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
This is just a small detail but https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: CANADIANCOPO CAMARO
 

My information is directly from the microfilm. In the 80's you also got a page from the microfilm showing your car amongst a host of others. This is where GM gets the info for our cars. Even the key codes are there but they don't pass that information out any more. I had this done in about 1988. I'm going to get it done again as the information is a little better showing the original dealer as well. At the time they had no information on the "Z" codes that related to the cars. The paint code is key to what the colour is, the name could be anything they dreamed up.
